Finnish teen convicted of more than 50,000 computer hacks

I have a feeling that hacking has become an increasing problem in many countries, who are now starting to take it increasingly more serious.

Hackers have a number of reasons for breaking through network security. Some do it just for the challenge, others for information, some for fame and some for honing their programming skills. Whatever the reason, hacking causes damage to the computing devices of individuals and businesses, sometimes resulting in millions of dollars lost, not to mention all the frustration for the users and networks involved.

Computer hackers in the USA go to jail for 10 years for a first offence and a recidivist gets up to 20 years in prison. In addition, any attempt to cause damage to computers will result in serious problems. Even if there is no explicit damage, the attempt to cause damage to computer would be punished by the legislative provisions. The scale of damage is estimated by the sum of the overall damage in one year. In particular, defense or national security cases can be punished without proof.
